Wendy Gayle Andersen-Cox, the daughter of Melody Rivera and Kenneth Boone, was born November 24, 1975, in West Monroe, Louisiana, although grew up in Galveston, Texas. Wendy entered eternal rest on January 30, 2022, at Blessing Health Keokuk, at the age of 46.
Wendy graduated from Ball High School in 1993. She married John Cox on June 5, 2010.
Wendy can be described as resilient. She spent her life healing, growing, and trying. Wendy always had good intentions, a helping hand, and a gentle soul. Wendy enjoyed riding on the back of her husband's motorcycle, living life with her "brothers & sisters", crown & coke, the beach, and reading. Recently, Wendy found peace in making friendships at the elderly retirement home, camping with her husband, and singing old songs. Wendy was eccentric and wild, but she loved with her entire heart. She will be remembered for her hamburger soup, broccoli rice and cheese casserole, deviled eggs, and chicken fried steak.
"For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change"
